The Internet of Things (IoT) is indeed changing the way cities deliver services to citizens through targeted data collected from intelligent devices on a municipal communications network. As an example, a given IoT device can collect data from a parking meter, indicating whether a space is open, and then provide that information to a driver to eliminate the need for circling around the block looking for an open parking spot. That is the IoT in action.

However, sometimes we don’t think about how the IoT works behind the scenes. In a recent conversation with one of the cities that is implementing solutions on Ingenu’s Machine Network™, they noted that the IoT is helping to drive innovations in terms of high-tech initiatives, but it is also taking the mundane and making it smart. Recently, the City of Las Vegas deployed its Innovation District to serve as a test bed for new IoT innovations that will be deployed across the city’s metropolitan area. The city will be able to track things like air quality and pedestrian traffic, and will provide important data on the over 40 million visitors that the city attracts each year.

But, what if those same visitors came to Las Vegas and had an unfavorable experience because they found the city’s trash cans were overflowing or the streetlights were not turning on? These seemingly insignificant events could change the way a city is perceived by its residents and equally as important, its visitors. However, through the attributes of the Internet of Things, the smart trashcan could communicate to the city sanitation department that its location on The Strip needs attention, or that the streetlight in the alley behind the Golden Nugget is not functioning properly – thus enhancing the public’s experience, safety and comfort.

Cities like Las Vegas have the vision to utilize the IoT to its fullest extent, so be sure to look for it – it may be under the nearest garbage can.

CES 2017, Las Vegas – January 4, 2017 – Ingenu Inc.™, the company that delivers purpose-built IoT connectivity, today announced its RPMA® (Random Phase Multiple Access) network will provide IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity for the City of Las Vegas, to enable various smart city applications. The Las Vegas Innovation District will provide valuable data collected from a host of applications including parking, air quality, pedestrian traffic and environmental monitoring, among others.

The Innovation District, which spans the area adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip, will serve as a test bed for new IoT innovations that will be deployed across the city’s vast metropolitan area. As a region which serves over 40 million visitors per year, the City of Las Vegas will utilize the data collected from devices on Ingenu’s Machine Network™ to drive operational efficiencies, expand city services and enhance city resources. The city will initially launch an environmental monitoring application, and will continue with deployments of other smart city applications.

“The City of Las Vegas has unique features in terms of sustainability, population density and technology adoption, which makes it an ideal location for deployment of next-generation IoT applications,” said Michael Lee Sherwood, director of information technologies, City of Las Vegas. “The applications deployed through the Innovation District program will serve as an example for other cities as they implement their own smart city initiatives.”

Las Vegas has been a pioneer in smart city adoption as it was a participant in the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Smart City Challenge, and recently announced it would be the first city in the U.S. to activate a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) system on its public roads.

“Las Vegas is leading other metropolitan areas in terms of smart technology, and we are pleased to offer the Machine Network to power these important innovations,” said Tom Gregor, president and general manager, Machine Network at Ingenu. “Ingenu and its ecosystem of IoT application partners ensure reliable connectivity and longevity with RPMA which will benefit the city for decades into the future.”

Ingenu’s nationwide Machine Network build-out is now underway across the United States, and is targeted to serve over 100 major metropolitan areas by the end of 2017. The Machine Network currently provides more than 100,000 square miles of wireless coverage for a host of IoT applications.

I live in San Diego County, and while getting my news fix this morning, I heard two reports which were pertinent to the IoT (Internet of Things) industry in which I work. The first story noted that the City of San Diego was awarded a gold medal by the Climate Action Campaign for its municipal sustainability and clean energy initiatives. And, just a few moments later, there was a story siting an audit which had been done on the city’s streetlight repairs, noting that the process was “broken” and that some lights were not repaired for months, posing safety, energy and liability issues for the city.

It was interesting to learn that while a city such as San Diego can have razor-like focus on one IoT initiative, it can also fall extremely short with another. This is not unique to “America’s Finest City”, in fact, it is quite common with municipalities. Many city services operate in silos without interaction between departments. This is a waste of resources, technology, and most importantly, money.

However, the IoT aims to alleviate these issues by providing a single platform on which applications and city services can operate. A network designed for machine-centric connectivity can serve disparate devices and be managed under one municipal roof. To use the example of San Diego, one network could initially provide connectivity for the city’s sustainability applications such as air quality monitoring, fleet management, parking, grid and water. Later, the street lighting could be IoT-enabled and then added onto the same network.

In order to accommodate these varied applications, the network would need to be widely available, have reliable municipal coverage and be able to add devices without capacity limitations. Ingenu’s RPMA (Random Phase Multiple Access) is just such a network. The field-proven network is being rolled out across the U.S. and the rest of the globe at a rapid pace.

Ingenu’s RPMA is ideally suited for Smart City connectivity because:

The Machine Network™ is publicly available for a host of IoT applications and is managed by Ingenu, so the city can focus on providing services, not deploying and managing a network infrastructure.

RPMA has the best coverage of all LPWA (low-power, wide-area) solutions, so it can connect devices through a city’s varied topology

The network is extremely scalable and can add capacity as needed, so IoT applications from an array of departments can operate together seamlessly.

A smart city is only as smart as its network strategy; Ingenu strives to make it simply genius.

SMART CITIES SUMMIT, Boston – December 6, 2016 – Ingenu Inc.™, the company that delivers purpose-built IoT connectivity, today announced it will be demonstrating the capabilities of an environmental monitoring solution, integrating its RPMA® (Random Phase Multiple Access) network technology with the LibeliumPlug&Sense! Air Quality monitoring device and PTC’s ThingWorx® IoT platform. The solution will be demonstrated in the Ingenu booth during the Smart Cities Summit event, taking place December 6-7, 2016 at the Courtyard Boston Downtown, in Boston, Mass.

The demonstration will simulate an environmental monitoring solution measuring the air quality index (AQI) of Boston as an example. The RPMA-enabled Libelium Plug&Sense! device will collect information on levels of carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and ozone and will provide evaluation and assessment of AQI and preventive alerts and insightful actions based on the data collected. In turn, the ThingWorx platform will provide automated predictive modeling and will deliver prescriptive and simulative intelligence to bring environmental data to end-users.

“As levels of air pollution continue to increase across the globe, environmental monitoring is of utmost concern to municipalities and a major facet of their smart city initiatives,” said Joshua Builta, vice president of product management at Ingenu. “Governmental regulations are also driving adoption of environmental monitoring solutions for cities, so implementation of this type of solution is top-of-mind with city managers and city CIOs.”

In a recent report by Transparency Market Research, the global market for air quality monitoring equipment stood at $4.2 billion in 2015, and is predicted to reach nearly $9 billion by 2024.
